Multiphysics software is more accurate
The V2007.2 release of multiphysics software CFD-ACE+ from ESI Group has significant product enhancements and more than 50 maintenance requests offering increased accuracy.
Using computer-aided tools to help reduce the cost and time necessary for new vehicle development and improve manufacturing processes is not new.
Formability analysis tools are currently used to predict material behavior to simulate what happens when sheet material is stamped into a three-dimensional part, such as a body panel.
However, as carmakers increasingly use advanced high strength steels and aluminium alloys, existing material simulation tools - largely based on data from mild strength steels and featuring relatively simple models - are becoming more and more inadequate for the latest simulation requirements, especially panel quality and tolerance control.
